My Parents Love Song

"One, two, three, four"

I hate the way they always kiss in the kitchen

Acting like they're still just twenty-one

They always seem to go for walks on Sundays

And doing things they did when they were young

And so I'll ask when I go home

But maybe the whole point's not to know

What's the secret to keeping the love alive?

What's the secret to keeping the love alive for so long?

I'm glad they still go out and hit the town

Dancing till their feet begin to hurt

He said, "Son, I hope you get close to what I've found

'Cause there ain't many like her on this earth"

And so I'll ask when I go home

Maybe the whole point's not to know

What's the secret to keeping the love alive?

What's the secret to keeping the love alive for so long? (Ohh, ohh)

For so long? (Ohh, ohh)

And how come you're still in love with mum? (Ohh, ohh)

And he said (Ohh, oh-oh)

"If I tell you the secret

Do you swear on me to keep it for the one?

For the one?

And, if I give you all the answers, you can't stop taking chances

Oh, my son, oh, my son

I knew you'd ask when you got old

And, I'll be honest, I don't know"

What's the secret to keeping the love alive?

What's the secret to keeping the love alive for so long? (Ohh, ohh)

For so long? (Ohh, ohh)

And how come you're still in love with mum? (Ohh, ohh)

He said (Ohh, oh-oh)

"I've seen so much love grow cold

So, I'll be honest, I don't know"

What's the secret to keeping the love alive?

What's the secret to keeping the love alive for so long?
